How to integrate LAI AliExpress Reviews with Boost AI Search & Discovery

⚠️ This feature only works with Boost AI Search & Discovery V2 and above. To find out which version of our app your store's current theme is installed with, please follow this article.

1. Install LAI AliExpress Reviews to your Shopify store's apps.

2. Go to Boost AI Search & Discovery > Integration > Third-party Integration > Select Product reviews tab.

3. Toggle ON the LAI AliExpress integration > Select Ok, integrate now.

⚠️ Please be aware that within each 3rd-party app integration category, only one app can be active at a time. Therefore, if you'd like to integrate another 3rd-party product reviews app, it's recommended to manually toggle OFF this app to avoid any conflict > Select Remove to confirm your action.

💪 In other case, even without toggling off the integration, when you enable another app within the same category, the previously active app will be automatically disabled after your confirmation.

⚠️ Please continue following these steps below only if you're using our app's V3 and just in case the automatic integration process does not work for your store after finishing the previous steps.

4. Go to Sync > Sync Overview > select Sync recent updates > click Start manual sync

5. Go back to Shopify Admin > Sales channels > Online Store > Themes > Find the theme you are working on > Customize.

6. In the Shopify Theme editor > From the left sidebar, select App embeds > Toggle ON the 3rd app you'd like to integrate.

⚠️ At step 6, if you do not find the 3rd-party app in the App embeds list, no worries, move on to step 7 and on if you are using V3 or Turbo. Learn more about Shopify's App embeds here.

  • Continue here if you are using V3.

  • Continue here if you are using Turbo.
